Is there a way to prevent the user from dismissing a snackbar by swiping on it?

I have an app that shows a snack bar during network login, I want to avoid it to be d

You can disable streaming touch events rather than clicks to the Snackbar view.

mSnackBar.getView().setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            public long mInitialTime;
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                if (v instanceof Button) return false; //Action view was touched, proceed normally.
                else {
                    switch (MotionEventCompat.getActionMasked(event)) {
                        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
                            mInitialTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
                            break;
                        }
                        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
                            long clickDuration = System.currentTimeMillis() - mInitialTime;
                            if (clickDuration <= ViewConfiguration.getTapTimeout()) {
                                return false;// click event, proceed normally
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            });

Or you could just replace the Snackbar behavior with some empty CoordinatorLayout.Behavior:

public CouchPotatoBehavior extends CoordinatorLayout.Behavior{

    //override all methods and don't call super methods. 

}

This is the empty behavior, that does nothing. Default SwipeToDismissBehavior uses ViewDragHelper to process touch events, upon which triggers the dismissal.

 ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = mSnackbar.getView().getLayoutParams();
 if (lp instanceof CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams) {
     ((CoordinatorLayout.LayoutParams)lp).setBehavior(new CouchPotatoBehavior());
       mSnackbar.getView().setLayoutParams(lp);              
}
